Happenings on the Homestead in the Appalachian Mountains

Weekend Coffee Share

Hello there Adventurous Friends & Family, greetings from Georgia. How you doing? The iris are blooming, seeds are coming up in the garden & I didn't get any asparagus this week. We worked on the camper, Kevin did the work & I helped hold things. Grab a coffee or your favorite beverage & I'll show you around the gardens & tell you how the enclosed trailer camper transformation is going, then were heading out to the Goat Farm Sale this weekend.

The kitten's eyes are open. Meet
Poppy & Bristol. 


Kevin has already been having to water the garden. There's not much in yet, just a few cold weather things. The onions look a lot better after being watered. The strawberries are doing good. We're getting 9 to 11 eggs a day, so all the hens are laying.  An extra rooster along with 2 of the hens are going to the farm sale. The iris & azaleas are beautiful in bloom. The snowball bush don't seem to have any snowballs this year.

We are ready for camping. We got the wiring, lights, ceiling & windows put in the camper. Next, we'll be working on putting in a kitchen, bathroom, table & a bed. For now, we can use cots, a fold up table & the little camp stove.

2 windows to be put in.

skin an icky yeast infection, you are
not alone.
